30 hits ain't nothing. He needs to correct that. but from Aug 1 to the end of the year he hit .269 .366 .600 .966 in 44 games with 153 PA's. Most of that is due to his torrid september, but his power never disappeared this year. His OBP struggles weren't from a lack of walks.
30 hits. September says he can. 2022 will show if he does. I actually think his contract is moveable if the Reds want to go that route. Someone will take the chance that September was a return to form. I do not think they should. 3B isn't the problem. CF and the pen, those are problems.
"Know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It's 25 hits. 25 hits in 500 at bats is 50 points, okay? There's 6 months in a season, that's about 25 weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week - just one - a gorp... you get a groundball, you get a groundball with eyes... you get a dying quail, just one more dying quail a week... and you're in Yankee Stadium." - Crash Davis
